An apparatus for controlling backlash comprising an intermediate gear capable of adjustable meshed engagement between a first driving gear and a second driven gear, and a body rotatably supporting the intermediate gear and capable of movement in a direction that reduces the center distance between the intermediate gear and either the first gear, the second gear, or both. The movement of the body utilizes both a resilient urging and a hysteretic damping to supply appropriately light resilient biasing while being fortified against rapid retraction or repulsion.
